Things to Remember After an Accident

We completely understand that if you have been involved in an accident, you might not always be able to focus on the practical side of things. There are some actions you can take though which will mean that you stand a higher chance of success when it comes to making accident injury claims – especially when it a non-fault accident and injury claim.

Here is our list of important things to remember.

Make sure that the police and ambulance have been called, especially if an injury has occurred

If it was a road accident then call your insurance company and inform them immediately.

Even if it is a small injury, tell you doctor so that the accident is on record for your accident injury claim

Collect as much evidence including photographs, as well as details of witnesses

Accident Injury Claim Compensation

We work on a no win no fee* basis and can help you to claim two separate forms of compensation claims. If you have sustained a personal injury you may be able to claim two types of compensation, general damages and special damages.

General damages are paid out to compensate for injuries, suffering, pain, plus also include financial aspects – for example any loss of wages in the future. The UK courts will make the decision on how much compensation should be awarded in the general damages category, unless the case is settled outside of court which is more common when making an accident injury claim in the UK.

Special damages are the compensation received during the legal process. So for example, if you are incurring costs before the final verdict of the accident injury claim has been announced, then these are referred to as special damages. They can include items such as travel costs, treatment and medical costs, and expenses such as car hires. These can be very important because you might be out of work whilst the accident claim is being processed. We can help you to get these payments up front in advance of your accident claim verdict.
